Beechfield Healthcare to exclusively distribute Winncare’s Mangar Lifting Cushions in Ireland
Irish healthcare equipment provider Beechfield Healthcare has unveiled its exclusive distributorship of Winncare’s Mangar range of lifting cushions in the Republic of Ireland.
Winncare’s Mangar Lifting Cushions, which have been available across the UK, Europe, and Australasia since their inception in 2006, are engineered to facilitate lifting from the floor to seat or bed height, significantly reducing the risk of injuries associated with manual lifting for healthcare professionals.
With applications spanning emergency medical services, acute care, long-term care, and home care environments, these cushions offer manifold benefits. They safeguard healthcare workers and patients while offering substantial cost savings by mitigating worker injuries and minimising hospital re-admissions due to fall-related complications. The versatility of these products proves invaluable in managing fall occurrences for both patients and caregivers alike.
James Gargan, Commercial Director of Beechfield Healthcare, shares his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “This collaboration will introduce Winncare’s Elk, Eagle, Camel, and Rhino lifting cushions to the Irish market, marking a significant advancement in patient care and safety.
“These products present indispensable solutions for managing patients who have experienced falls, benefiting both caregivers and patients.”
Simon Jenkin, Channel Director at Winncare, echoes Gargan’s sentiment, remarking, “We are excited to join forces with Beechfield Healthcare to make the Mangar lifting cushion portfolio accessible to the Irish market. These products offer invaluable support to patients and caregivers dealing with fall incidents.”
This strategic alliance signifies a significant step forward in enhancing patient care and safety across Ireland’s healthcare landscape, making a positive impact in ensuring safe patient handling practices.
Winncare products are manufactured in the UK and sold worldwide. As the creators of the first powered structured bath lift, Winncare have become known as specialists in post falls management, with 40 years of experience designing and manufacturing patient lifting equipment.
In December 2022, the firm announced that it had introduced the complete Supine Transfer System, which includes the Rhino Lifting Cushion, Swift Transfer Slide and Airflo Duo Compressor, to its range of products.
